How can I stop context menu from opening up randomly

Can you give an example of where the context menu opens up? Is this on web pages as you are browsing, or on toolbar buttons, tabs, etc.?
If you are using a touchpad, sometimes there may be regions of the pad that are considered to be the same as a right-click. Not sure whether your computer has settings for that.
I would get the menu pop up on web pages
Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
I have tried troubleshooting mode Refresh and reinstall. I still have the context menu still pops up randomly
Do you have a mouse and a mouse pad? Open the pad settings and disable it (when a mouse is detected)<available in some systems>

Does this also happen in other software on the device, such as office software?
I have noticed the context menu also when I was checking my mail.
The menu pop up several times will checking the mail
